CVC Falcon Holdings Limited and CVC Capital Partners VI Limited reported beneficial ownership of 12,672,896 common shares of Fidelis Insurance Holdings Limited, representing 11.6% of the class as of June 30, 2025. The percentage is calculated using 109,117,916 shares outstanding disclosed in Fidelis' prospectus dated June 12, 2025. CVC Falcon is directly the holder of the shares and is wholly owned by funds managed by CVC Capital Partners VI Limited; that manager is governed by a four-member board whose majority approval is required for investment and voting decisions. The filing is a Schedule 13G amendment jointly filed under a previously executed joint filing agreement.

Insights
TL;DR: A material passive stake disclosed: 11.6% ownership by CVC group may attract investor attention but the filing asserts limited control.
The Schedule 13G/A documents a sizeable 11.6% position (12,672,896 shares) in Fidelis as of June 30, 2025, using the issuer's June 12, 2025 prospectus share count. The filing structure—joint Schedule 13G and an express disclaimer by the manager—signals a passive investment posture rather than an active control intent. For investors, the position size is material relative to public float and could influence trading liquidity and proxy dynamics, though no changes to governance or transactions are reported here.
TL;DR: The disclosure clarifies ownership chain and decision-making authority without claiming beneficial ownership by the manager.
The report identifies CVC Falcon Holdings Limited as the direct holder and explains that CVC Capital Partners VI Limited manages the funds and may be deemed to beneficially own the shares, while explicitly disclaiming such ownership. It also states the manager's four-member board requires majority approval for investment and voting actions. This provides useful clarity on who holds voting/dispositive power and the internal approval threshold, but the filing contains no indication of coordinated governance action or changes to board composition.
